    Summary

    Colin lifts his hand with the cigarette to his lips at the same that his eyes open, his head turns, and he first notices Penelope standing there watching him.

    "Fuck," he mutters before looking away from her and to the window. "I'm sorry."

    She isn't sure what he's apologizing for really—for smoking or fighting with Marina or maybe both. Regardless, it breaks a little part of her to see him looking so dejected and sad. There's a light missing from him, a weight pulling him down and making him seem smaller. It's not fair, though. He's so inherently good. He doesn't deserve to feel like this. He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. He deserves—

    Penelope can't help but blink in surprise even at just the meandering path of her own thoughts, at the idea that just popped into her head about what exactly she thinks Colin Bridgerton deserves at this moment and what exactly she'd like to do to make him feel better. It's ridiculous, right? She shouldn't… She couldn't… But what if she did?

    --

    Flatmates Penelope and Colin take a winding, complicated, messy path on their friends to lovers journey.

    Summary

    “You will go to the Featherington Lands and retrieve my bride.” His voice thundered throughout the throne room - empty, save for the two brothers now in a heated battle like two stags with locked horns. But even if Colin was taller, a more experienced warrior, his opponent was a king. Colin would only waste his breath and strength if he fought back and evidently, he had several months of a quest to embark on. So, with a clenched jaw, he nodded and stepped back.

    Anthony dismissed his brother with an indifferent wave of his hand as he declared, “You will leave at first light and bring Princess Penelope to me.”

    a journey across lands in the pursuit of duty, and love that disregards duty all the same.

    Summary

    At least now she knew—
    Knew, without question, that Colin Bridgerton would never love her.
    And with Eloise gone as well, there was truly nothing left to lose.

    So Penelope Featherington stopped being sweet.

    If the world didn’t want her as she was, she would give it something else.
    —————————
    After hearing Colin's words at the end of Season 2, that "he would never court Penelope Featherington", Penelope decides to forget all about propriety and to do as she pleases.

    But what happens when Colin Bridgerton returns to London… and the quiet girl next door is no longer so quiet, no longer so sweet, and no longer his?

    Can love overcome years of resentment, longing, and secrets?

    A slow-burn story of identity, desire, courage, growth, and the lengths we go to be truly seen.

    —————————
    —————————
    —————————
    NOW COMPLETE. This story begins relatively lightly, but grows more intense, realistic, and emotionally complicated as it goes. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has their reasons, and there are very few easy answers, so expect complications.

    Summary

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Colin Bridgerton is full of those.

    Loving Penelope has always been the easiest thing he's ever done. Helping her love herself proves infinitely harder.

    When an attempt to heal years of self-loathing leaves them both heartbroken, Colin is forced to confront a painful truth: Good intentions aren't the same as understanding.

    Or: the one where Colin learns that communication is sexier than grand gestures.

    Summary

    “Did I wake you?” she whispers.

    Ron shakes his head. “No. But Harry’s asleep.”

    Why he adds the latter, he can’t fathom.

    (He can, of course. What he really can’t fathom is what Hermione would be doing here that would necessitate Harry being asleep. Because the implication of that…bloody hell. Mentally, Ron blows out a breath.)

    “So is Ginny,” Hermione says. She pauses. “I was wondering if you’d come help me with my shoulder?”

    ---

    Or, Hermione is injured on a mission and Ron helps.
